Reading, learning, life. I try not to be inspired by music, I want my output to be pure not someone else's recycled song, I love music and listen to a wide range of artists but i try to be a fan at that point and just enjoy.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

The beauty of instrumental music is leaves a lot to the listener, it can be what you want, mean what you want. I do set the theme, the mood but it really gives the audience a lot of freedom to cowrite the story with me. I guess I want to spread joy thru heavy guitars, frantic drums, thundering bass and melodic shred guitar.

It's a lot of fun, terrifying, exhilarating all at the same time. After 16 months I'm ready to rock !
